Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift technology, and in particular to a forklift freight safety device. Background Technology

[0002] When forklifts are carrying goods, tipping over frequently occurs when turning, accelerating, decelerating, or traversing uneven surfaces. This is especially dangerous for irregularly shaped and heavy goods that are not properly secured. As the forklift moves, the goods can squeeze and slide against each other, eventually falling off the forks. This not only damages the goods but can also injure nearby property or people, posing a serious safety hazard. Current forklifts lack effective restraint and control mechanisms for goods, making them highly susceptible to tipping over during turns, acceleration, deceleration, or traversing uneven surfaces.

[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a forklift freight safety device, which aims to solve the technical problem that the goods on the forklift are prone to tipping over and pose safety hazards in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A forklift freight safety device, comprising:

[0007] Forklift frame, which is slidably connected to the front of the forklift and equipped with forks for carrying goods;

[0008] Two side stops are respectively installed on both sides of the forklift frame, and one end of each side stop is hinged to the side of the forklift frame;

[0009] Two front baffles are fixedly connected to the other ends of the two side baffles, respectively;

[0010] When the forklift is not in use, the two side levers are retracted to a vertical position parallel to the forklift frame;

[0011] When a forklift is carrying goods, the two side guards are lowered to a horizontal position parallel to the forks. The two side guards, the two front guards, and the forklift frame work together to abut the four sides of the goods carried on the forks to prevent the goods from tipping over and falling off the forks.

[0012] The forklift freight safety device is described above, wherein the side stop is a slender cuboid rod, the front baffle is a cuboid plate with a length much smaller than that of the side stop, and the front baffle is perpendicularly connected to the side stop.

[0013] The forklift freight safety device includes at least one side baffle fixedly installed on the side stop bar.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a forklift freight safety device, which includes:

[0031] Forklift frame 1 is slidably connected to the front side of the forklift and is equipped with forks 2 for carrying goods. In this embodiment, the structure of forklift frame 1 and forks 2, as well as the linkage structure installed on the forklift, are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] Two side stops 3 are respectively installed on both sides of the forklift frame 1, and one end of the side stops 3 is hinged to the side of the forklift frame 1;

[0033] Two front baffles 4 are fixedly connected to the other ends of two side baffles 3 respectively; in this embodiment, both the side baffles 3 and the front baffles 4 are made of metal materials, which gives them high strength and rigidity and higher protection stability.

[0034] When the forklift is not in use, the two side levers 3 are retracted to a vertical position parallel to the forklift frame 1;

[0035] When the forklift is carrying goods, the two side guards 3 are lowered to a horizontal position parallel to the forks 2. The two side guards 3, the two front guards 4, and the forklift frame 1 work together to abut against the four sides of the goods carried on the forks 2, to prevent the goods from tipping over and falling off the forks 2.

[0036] When the forklift is idle, the side guards 3 on both sides are retracted to a vertical position parallel to the forklift frame 1, without affecting the forklift's idle state. When the forklift is carrying goods, the side guards 3 on both sides are lowered to a horizontal position parallel to the forks 2. At this time, the two side guards 3, the two front guards 4, and the forklift frame 1 work together to abut against the four sides of the goods on the forks 2, forming a surrounding barrier to prevent the goods from tipping over or falling during forklift movement due to turning, acceleration, deceleration, or uneven road surfaces. This forklift cargo safety device provides stable protection for goods during transportation, reduces the risk of unsecured goods tipping over, and ensures the safety of surrounding items and personnel. At the same time, the retraction and lowering of the side guards 3 is simple and can adapt to different working states of the forklift. It does not affect the space occupied when the forklift is idle, and can reliably play a protective role when carrying goods, improving the safety and practicality of forklift operation.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the side guard bar 3 is a slender cuboid rod, and the front baffle 4 is a cuboid plate with a length much smaller than that of the side guard bar 3. The front baffle 4 is perpendicularly connected to the side guard bar 3. In this embodiment, the side guard bar 3 and the front baffle 4 are fixedly connected by welding. Designing the side guard bar 3 as a slender cuboid rod increases the contact area between the side guard bar 3 and the cargo, making it more closely fitted and improving the protective stability of the side guard bar 3. The front baffle 4 is perpendicular to the side guard bar 3, transforming the protection of the left and right sides of the cargo by the side guard bar 3 into protection of the front side of the cargo, thus increasing the protective effect on the cargo.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 2As shown, at least one side baffle 5 is fixedly installed on the side baffle 3. The side baffle 5 is parallel to the side baffle 3, and the side baffle 5 is a rectangular plate with a length much smaller than the length of the side baffle 3 and a width greater than the width of the side baffle 3. In this embodiment, the side baffle 3 and the at least one side baffle 5 are integrally formed, with three side baffles 5 on one side baffle 3, and the three side baffles 5 are equidistantly arranged along the length direction of the side baffle 3. By arranging three side baffles 5 at intervals, the contact area with the goods is increased, further improving the protective stability, while saving material costs for the side baffle 3 and the side baffles 5.

[0039] Please see Figures 2 to 3 As shown, it also includes a fixing member 6, which is fixedly connected to the side of the forklift frame 1. The end of the side stop bar 3 is rotatably sleeved on the fixing member 6. In this embodiment, the fixing member 6 is a bolt, or it can be a rod with a rotation axis, such as a hinge shaft. One end of the fixing member 6 is fixed to the side of the forklift frame 1 by threaded connection or welding, and the side stop bar 3 is rotatably sleeved on the other end of the fixing member 6, so that the side stop bar 3 can rotate around the fixing member 6 to switch between vertical and horizontal states, thereby adapting to different working states of the forklift.

[0040] Please see Figures 3 to 4 As shown, it also includes a first limiting member 7, which is hinged to the side stop bar 3 and used to hook the forklift frame 1 to limit the side stop bar 3 and keep it in a vertical state. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 7 includes an integrally formed first rod, a second rod, and a third rod. The first rod and the third rod are respectively vertically connected to the two ends of the second rod and are offset from each other. The second rod makes the first rod and the third rod not on the same plane. The first rod is bolted to the upper side of the side stop bar 3 when it is in a horizontal state. The first rod, the second rod, and the third rod are all cuboid plates with a length less than the length of the side stop bar 5 and a width less than or equal to the thickness of the side stop bar 3. When the forklift is idle, the side stop bar 3 returns to the vertical position. The worker can manually rotate the first limiting member 7 so that the length direction of the first rod is perpendicular to the length direction of the side stop bar 3. The third rod then rotates and falls to the rear side of the forklift frame 1 to hook the forklift frame 1, thereby keeping the side stop bar 3 in a vertical state.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a second limiting member 8, which is fixedly disposed on the front side of the forklift frame 1 and is used to support the side stop bar 3 when it is horizontal, so that the side stop bar 3 remains in a horizontal state. In this embodiment, the second limiting member 8 is a rod parallel to the fixing member 6. The second limiting member 8 is fixed to the front of both sides of the forklift frame 1 by welding, and its height is slightly lower than that of the fixing member 6 so as to just abut the lower side of the side stop bar 3 when it is in a horizontal state, thereby keeping the side stop bar 3 in a horizontal state and preventing it from falling further due to its own weight, which would affect the protection of the goods.

[0042] In summary, this utility model protects goods by hinged side guards 3 on both sides of the forklift frame 1 and fixedly connecting the other end of the side guards 3 to the front baffle 4, reducing the risk of unsecured goods tipping over and falling, and ensuring the safety of surrounding items and personnel. At the same time, the side guards 3 are easy to raise and lower, adaptable to different working states of the forklift, do not affect the space occupied when the forklift is idle, and can reliably play a protective role when transporting goods, thus improving the safety and practicality of forklift operation.

[0043] It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, and all such substitutions or changes should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
